Misogynistic Attacks Against Women Surge on Social Media Following Trump’s Election Win
Two years. By then, the Americans who voted for Trump will have realized what a horrific mistake they have made, and will vote accordingly in the mid-terms. Meanwhile, Trump or Vance will be trying to polish a turd. I do not repent from saying the turkeys voted for Christmas. No doubt MAGA's will try to humiliate leftists. That's merely to make themselves feel good about their manifold shortcomings. -

UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
A passport isn't what they would look at. You think they'd rely on that? Your entry and exit time and dates are recorded digitally every time you go through immigration. On my last trip to Philippines I asked the IO there upon leaving, if UK immigration could access my data on their system. She confirmed it but said it very rarely happens. So, safe to assume they can track you. Out of 500,000 OAPs living abroad, some will have notified HMRC or the DWP that they were leaving, in order to cancel tax returns or whatever, and maybe where they living thereafter. No idea of numbers. Others won't have bothered and either accept their pensions will be frozen if the DWP find out where they're living and it doesn't have an agreement, or it does. I guess just an exit from the UK as recorded at UK immigration would be enough to alert them. But I imagine it would be hugely time consuming trying to track possibly 100s of thousands of suspected non change of circumstances notifiers. Most benefit fraud in the UK is committed by Universal Credit applicants. Us OAPs probably pale into tiny insignificance compared. And if you do get caught, I think the only penalty would be to freeze your pension until you meet the requirements for the annual raise. This last item has been the subject of much heated discussion over the years. Some claim they, or a mate, had to pay back the excess payments. Others who claim they were incarcerated. Others that they were fined. And so it goes on. Information is thin on the ground. YMMV. -
